Do you have a jigsaw puzzle that is a custom size and/or shape? Have you ever wanted to frame your jigsaw puzzle? Check out these abstract colored puzzles in the shape of Snoopy from Peanuts. We floated them on top of a white background underneath regular glass in matching black contemporary flat frames. How fun is that?!!

 

This beautiful original pastel drawing of Multnomah Falls required a reverse bevel cut on the double mat. Framed in a traditional two tone wood frame featuring a deep purple with a tan outer lip underneath Conservation Clear glass with 99% UV protection. Such beautiful fall colors in this original drawing by a local artist.

 

How to commemorate that new job? Frame the first dollar you earned!! We floated this one dollar bill on top of a black mat and framed it with an ornate black frame that features a silver lip, all under Museum Glass for UV protection and that "no glass" look!

 

This amazing art print by Chris Austin is another one we've done for our client who loves his art! The print came rolled in a tube so we used Preserve Ultra acid-free mounting in the vacuum heat press to make it lay nice and flat. Then we added a double mat and a dark brown/black rustic frame with UV70 glass.

 

Here in Oregon we love our trees!! This imprint of a slice of tree is an Artist's Proof that was on very thin paper. We used Preserve Ultra acid-free mounting in the vacuum heat press to make it lay nice and flat. Then it has a single black mat in a rustic black frame with UV70 glass that is 70% UV Protected with the anti-reflective coating similar to museum glass.

 

Are you a sloth person? These adorable coordinating prints are for Collin's baby room. The prints are dry mounted on to foamcore board to lay flat after coming rolled up in a tube. We then double matted them and used regular plexiglass for safety in a child's room. All framed in a contemporary flat black frame.

 

When this oversized dupioni silk fabric was hanging on a rod until it started to disintegrate our client brought it in and asked how we could frame it so they could still enjoy it's beauty while preserving it from further decay. We hand sewed along the top seam line to a cotton fabric in a coordinating color which we then stretched over an acid-free foamcore board. To keep it lightweight we used plexiglass with 99% UV protection and a non-glare coating to protect it from fading. The frame is a contemporary flat face with a light tan line on both the inside and outside edge.

 

Small 4x6 original colorful abstract portrait of our client is mounted on foamcore to raise and float atop a black mat with a maroon suede single mat surrounding it that is raised with spacers to highlight the three dimensional feel. Framed in a wooden frame featuring a contemporary metallic black finish and using 99% UV protected Museum Glass for that invisible look. What a fun little piece!!

 

Do you love gnomes? Here's some "Watermelon gnomes" for you!! This adorable cross stitch on white linen is a great example of some bright colors, but as you can see we did a triple mat with a matching white on top. When we matched the correct pink and green mats all you saw was the matting, but adding a third mat to soften the colors brings your eye back to the focal point...the gnomes! We hand stretched the fabric on to acid-free foamcore board and put regular glass in a traditional thin white frame.

 

This sweet little beach scene is a 10x8 original painting on a canvas board that we put on a double mat with a contemporary gray patterned frame under 70% UV protection glass called Ultra Vue 70 (UV70) that gives that invisible look similar to museum glass without the museum price.

 

The latest craft trend is Diamond Painting where you "paint" by number with rhinestones and beads to have a more three dimensional feel to your art. This religious art has two rows of beads along the outside edge just inside the double mat and larger beads accenting the halo and clothing. We mounted the canvas to foamcore board in the heat press and then used regular glass in a traditional dark brown frame with a gold lip. The second photo is from our client after they got it home.

 

Are you needing a way to preserve a family vacation? This multi-opening single black mat is a great way to showcase parts of maps highlighting a family skiing trip. With an additional opening to hold a family photo it gives it balanced proportions. Utilizing two maps to mount images from each side onto foamcore board makes them lay nice and flat. With regular clear glass and a contemporary flat black frame, the design is kept simple enough for the maps to be the focal point.

 

Religious art is very popular...this print was mounted using Preserve Ultra and acid-free mounting board used in the vacuum heat press which is reversible without leaving any adhesives on the print. Matted using a single gold metallic mat with regular glass all in a contemporary flat, square, black frame.
